Chapter 029: Zhenyuan's Martial Arts Hall

Su Yucao ate something, came to the garden of the South Courtyard, and saw Mr. Gu Jin sitting at the stone table looking through an ancient book.

He walked over and asked, "Sir, are you looking for me?" ”

"It's messy, it's messy." Gu Jin gently threw the book in his hand on the stone table, stood up, paced a few steps behind his hands, and said, "You should have seen it in the past two days, what has Evian Town been made of." Although I didn't go out, Xiucai didn't go out, and he knew what was going on in the world. I can feel it. ”

"Sir, Brother Zicheng's marriage has also been delayed."

"Providence, providence." Gu Jin shook his head and said, "I hope that he will live his duty life and not fight and kill, but he can't listen to me, he is dealing with me on the surface, and he doesn't know what he is doing behind his back." ”

"Sir, don't worry too much. Brother Zicheng has his own ideas, which is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"If he is as obedient as you, our Du family may still have hope and a future. If he does not change, he will be delusional, and there will be no good results. I don't have long to live, so take my words to heart and find an opportunity to tell them. Some things are just a matter of thinking about them, and people can't have too many delusions. ”

To outsiders, Mr. Gu doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads sage books, but in fact, he has long had insight into the outside world. I don't know anything about the psychology of young people.

However, he also understands that the world is changing, and people will change. He didn't know how much of his faith and learning he could leave to future generations, nor did he know what the society would look like after he was gone.

Su Yu seemed to understand what Mr. was trying to say, but he wasn't sure.

Zicheng's marriage was set by Mr., and it may not be in line with Zicheng's wishes, but Mr. should be able to see Zicheng's thoughts. That's why he forced his grandson to get married quickly. Now, the abacus beads have been knocked off.

Gu Jin sighed and said, "The way is not good, take the pole to float in the sea, who will follow me?" But there are small encounters. ”

"Sir, you fancy me too much, I'm still far away." Su Yu said, "Mr. came to me for this?" ”

"There's something else called." Gu Jindao.

As he was talking, He Hongdao walked over from the north courtyard: "Mr. Gu, the carriage from the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall has arrived, please please." ”

Gu Jin tidied up his robe, symbolically flicked the dust on his body, and said to Su Yu: "Let's go, go with the teacher." ”

Su Yu followed Gu Jin and took a carriage to the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall.

It is really unheard of for a group of people who practice martial arts to ask an old gentleman to talk about Confucianism.

The Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall used to be called the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau.

Hu Zhenyuan, the head of the dart, is a well-known dart master, once, he escorted the medicinal herb merchants of Wuchang to Anhui, met bandits in Changling Pass, Hu Zhenyuan killed and wounded thirteen people, and since then the town of three provinces.

In the past few years, the business of the dart bureau has not been good, and he can't make money by walking darts, so Hu Zhenyuan changed the dart bureau into a martial arts hall, and accepted apprentices to teach martial arts, and the income was not wrong.

Gu Jin and Su Yu, an old man and a young man, had just stepped into the gate of the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall, and Hu Zhenyuan, who was wearing a cardigan coat and black cloth shoes, strode over.

People who practice martial arts are different, they walk with a tiger, and when they are still two or three steps away from Su Yu, Su Yu feels Hu Zhenyuan's aura.

Hu Zhenyuan is of medium height, with short round hair, a bright forehead, slightly protruding temples, a round face with a thick and curly beard, and a pair of thick big knife eyebrows, like two majestic crickets lying on top of Yintang, very majestic. His eyes were full of the righteousness of a martial artist.

With such a look, the average thief looks weak, not to mention that he has a stunt.

Although Hu Zhenyuan is strong and strong, his mind is meticulous. I've never missed a dart before. Now that he has opened a martial arts hall, he also strictly abides by the rules of martial arts, never protects his shortcomings, and does not indulge in evil, and has a good reputation in Evian Town.

The two main apprentices, Shi Dazhu and Gu Zicheng, also had a lot of righteous deeds, adding a lot of good names to the martial arts hall. Especially Gu Zicheng, who is chivalrous and righteous, is very similar to Hu Zhenyuan.

Hu Zhenyuan got married late, and had a daughter and a son. Daughter Hu Ruolian hasn't read much, and she grew up with a group of boys who practice martial arts, and her personality is a little wild. When I grew up, I wanted to learn from everyone's elegant temperament, but the result was often that Dong Shi was frequent, nondescript, and made jokes from time to time.

His son, Xu Zhimou, has been away from home for three years. Hu Zhenyuan wanted to train his son to be his successor, but his son was unwilling to learn family traditions. Only under the guidance of Hu Zhenyuan, he barely practiced some basic skills, and went to Songshan Shaolin Temple alone to learn art.

A few days ago, Hu Zhenyuan sent Gu Zicheng to Henan to look for his son, but Xu Zhimou was unwilling to come back.

Seeing that Hu Zhenyuan was getting old day by day, the inheritance of the martial arts hall was highlighted. Among the many apprentices, the eldest apprentice Shi Dazhu and the second apprentice Gu Zicheng are more talented and have prestige. It is possible for either of these two to inherit the mantle.

In Hu Zhenyuan's heart, he likes Gu Zicheng. Zicheng's grandfather was a literati, and he cultivated some literati temperament for Zicheng intentionally or unintentionally. After Zicheng entered the martial arts hall, he practiced martial arts hard, learned things relatively quickly, and mastered many of Hu Zhenyuan's stunts in a few years.

Shi Dazhu was the earliest to get started, and he also suffered hardships, but his talent was slightly lacking compared to Zicheng, the same kung fu, Zicheng could be practiced in one year, and Dazhu often took two years, or even three years. However, Dazhu also knew that he was stupid, so he worked harder. It was this point that made Hu Zhenyuan look at Shi Dazhu differently.

Zicheng's personality is outgoing, he is uneven, and he often gets into trouble. Dazhu has a calm and introverted personality and has great respect for his master and family. Hu Zhenyuan often handed over some important but non-urgent matters to Dazhu, and handed over to Zicheng what needed to be dealt with on the spot. Senior brothers learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses.

However, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one of them must be selected as the heir, which makes it difficult for Hu Zhenyuan. Later, Hu Ruolian got involved, which complicated the situation for a while.

In terms of appearance, Gu Zicheng is better than Shi Dazhu, but if Hu Ruolian chooses a bodyguard, he will definitely choose Shi Dazhu. However, if she was asked to choose a partner, she would naturally prefer Gu Zicheng.

There are two choices in front of Hu Zhenyuan at the same time, not only to choose a son-in-law, but also to choose the head. After many tests, Hu Zhenyuan's balance finally tilted towards Shi Dazhu.

This must not be due to the daughter's temperament.

Gu Zicheng is smart, but he is too flamboyant, in the current troubled times, he doesn't know where his mind will fly, and he doesn't know where he will take the martial arts hall. The most important thing is that Zicheng doesn't mean that kind to Rulan, which Hu Zhen has seen long ago. The daughter was wishful thinking.

Shi Dazhu took good care of Rulan. Maybe it's out of respect for the teacher, maybe it's to win Rulan's favor, in short, Rulan shouldn't suffer if she follows Dazhu.

Especially not long ago, Hu Zhenyuan heard that Gu Zicheng was going to get married, and the bride was the daughter of Boss Lu of Chang Gung Bookstore in Zhenbei, he was a little disappointed and a little relieved. It's okay, let Rulan die that heart.

Hu Zhenyuan knew that with his daughter's brains, he couldn't play Gu Zicheng, so he had better find an honest life.

After the direction was set, Hu Zhenyuan paid more attention to Shi Dazhu, and gradually handed over the inside and outside of the martial arts hall to him to take care of.

Shi Dazhu is also qualified, although there are some things that are not very satisfactory, it is generally reasonable. After a long time, Hu Zhenyuan's determination to inherit the mantle was set.

As for his daughter's parenting, he has not officially mentioned it, and he needs a proper moment.

Seeing Gu Jin coming in with Su Yu, Hu Zhenyuan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted Mr. Gu: "Mr. is here, Xu is not welcome." Today, Mr. Hard, I have worked hard to teach orthodoxy to the apprentices. ”

Gu Jin leaned on the bamboo cane and said slowly: "Zhenyuan Zhenyuan is extraordinary. There are many martial arts halls in China, and there are not many that can pay as much attention to tradition as you do. ”

There are two Taishi chairs in the front desk of the martial arts training ground, and on both sides are the shelves of eighteen kinds of blades. Various martial arts moves are painted on the walls. The apprentices were already sitting neatly on the ground, just waiting for the old gentleman to come to lecture.

The eldest apprentice, Shi Dazhu, stood behind Hu Zhenyuan.

Hu Zhenyuan asked, "Are you all here?" ”

Shi Dazhu said: "Only the junior brother of Zicheng is missing." ”
